You must provide documentation of both the 2007 and 2008 test results.
 
Immunization Records (childhood records – The immunization record must show documentation of TWO MMRs (Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccines). If you do not have documentation of two MMR vaccines, you must either schedule an appointment with your medical provider to get the second vaccine, OR provide documentation of titers, which are blood tests, showing immunity to all three infections, OR provide medical documentation of an allergic reaction which would prevent you from getting the MMR vaccine.

Second shot (provide copy of date given)

Hepatitis B Titer
A Hepatitis B titer is done a minimum of six weeks after the third Hepatitis B shot is complete. This titer is needed to document that you have acquired immunity to Hepatitis B through your series of three vaccinations. If your titer indicates that you have not developed immunity, we will advise you to complete a second three-shot Hepatitis B series, followed by a titer six weeks after the third shot.
